Bachelor of Computer Science (abbreviated B.CompSc. or B.CS.) is a type of bachelor's degree, usually awarded after three years of collegiate study in computer science. In general Computer Science degrees emphasize the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing, rather than teaching specific technologies that may quickly become outdated.

A bachelor of computer science degree is normally required in order to work in the field of software development.

The same core curriculum may, depending on the school, result in other degrees, including:

  • Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science
  • Bachelor of Mathematics in Computer Science
  • Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computer Science (BSc CS or BSCS)
  • Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Computer Science
  • Bachelor of Computing in Computer Science
  • Bachelor Of Computer Security in Computer Science

Since Computer Science is such a wide field, required Computer Science Degree courses varies. Here is a typical list of standard courses that most Computer Science Degrees require[1].[citation needed]

Some schools which place more emphasis on Mathematics will have more required mathematics courses such as:

Beyond the basic set of Computer Science courses, typically students can choose courses from a large variety of different fields, such as[citation needed]:
